A study of iron deficiency among infants compared blood hemoglobin levels of a random sample of infants who had been breast-fed to a random sample of infants who had been fed with standard infant formula. Here are the results. Breast-fed infants 23 Formula-fed infants 1.7 13.3 12.4 1.8 19 We want to test H, : 4, –H, =0,H_:4,-H, # 0, where H, and H, are the population mean blood hemoglobin levels for breast-fed and formula-fed infants, respectively. (a) What additional information would you need to confirm that the conditions for this test have been met? b) Assume the conditions have been met. Calculate the standardized test statistic and P-value for this test. c) What conclusion would you make at the a = 0.05 significance level? d) Given your conclusion in part (c), which type of error, Type I or Type II, could you have made? Describe that error in the context of this study.

Historically, the proportion of people who trade in their old car to a car dealer when purchasing a new car is 48%. Over the previous 6 months, in a sample of 115 new-car buyers, 46 have traded in their old car. The p-value for the test of whether the proportion of people who trade in their old cars to a car dealer has decreased is 0.0427. If we were to test this hypothesis at the 5% level of signficance, what can you conclude concerning the null hypothesis?
A survey of 90 recently delivered women on the rolls of a county welfare department revealed that 27 had a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection. Can we conclude that the population proportion with a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection is less than or equal to 0.25. Let alpha = 0.05
A cream with alpha-hydroxy acid, advertises that it can reduce wrinkles and improve the skin. In a study published in Archives of Dermatology (June 1996), 49 middle-aged women used a cream with alpha-hydroxy acid for 22 weeks. At the end of the study period, a dermatologist judged whether each woman exhibited any improvement in the condition of her skin. The results for the 49 women (where I = improved skin and N = no improvement) were: 32 I’s and 17 N’s. (a) Find a 95% confidence interval for p, the true population proportion of middle-aged women with improved skin after using this cream. Interpret the interval. (b) What assumptions are required for the confidence interval of part (a) to be statistically valid? (c) Are the assumptions for part (b) reasonably satisfied? Explain.
Historically, the proportion of people who trade in their old car to a car dealer when purchasing a new car is 48%. Over the previous six months, in a sample of 115 new car buyers, 46 have traded in their old car. To determine whether the proportion of new car buyers that trade in their old car has this is sickly significantly decreased, what is the null and alternative hypothesis?

A researcher is concerned that his new antihypertensive medication may be causing insomnia in some of his patients. Suppose he gathers an SRS of 65 patients treated with the study drug with a sample average of 6.6 hours of sleep and a σ=1.1. Assuming that insomnia can be quantified as an average of 4.5 hours of sleep, can we determine with 95% confidence that his drug avoids diagnosis of insomnia as a side-effect?
In a survey of 1000 adult Americans, 45.4% indicated that they were somewhat interested or very interested in having web access in their cars. Suppose that the marketing manager of a car manufacturer claims that the 45.4% is based only on a sample and that 45.4% is close to half, so there is no reason to believe that the proportion of all adult Americans who want car web access is less than 0.50. Is the marketing manager correct in his claim? Provide statistical evidence to support your answer. For purposes of this exercise, assume that the sample can be considered as representative of adult Americans. Test the relevant hypotheses using ? = 0.05. Find the test statistic and P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) z= P-value =
According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.36. Suppose a random sample of 110 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 49 that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the α=0.05 level of significance?
In a survey of 1000 adult Americans, 45.7% indicated that they were somewhat interested or very interested in having web access in their cars. Suppose that the marketing manager of a car manufacturer claims that the 45.7% is based only on a sample and that 45.7% is close to half, so there is no reason to believe that the proportion of all adult Americans who want car web access is less than 0.50. Is the marketing manager correct in his claim? Provide statistical evidence to support your answer. For purposes of this exercise, assume that the sample can be considered as representative of adult Americans. Test the relevant hypotheses using ? = 0.05. Find the test statistic and P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) z= P-value= chose the conclusion in the context of the problem. a) Reject H0. We do not have convincing evidence that the proportion of all adult Americans who want car web access is less than 0.5. The marketing…
